3g issue - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all
I am a new andriod user, i currently have a gt-i9000 with gingerbread xwjw5 build on it. I am currently in Honduras with Tigo as my carrier which has 3g network. But my phone only connects to the edge network and from my research is only 2g or 2.5g. i paid for the 3g network and i've messed around with the apn settings trying to get it to connect to 3g but I am with no luck. The phone is unlocked model. Do i need to get a different phone or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks for the time

Is there any way to get the mda to use the 3g network?

I have an unlocked mda, but i want to use the 3g network. Is there anything i can do to get it to work? Or just get a (at&t) phone?
Basically, there should be no problem if you are using a 3G network based on GSM baseband. However if the 3G network is not GSM based, you have no way to get it work unless using another phone.

[Q] Anybody with working 3G in Australia?

Hi, I'm a new Captivate owner - I'd like to ask whether anyone has 3G working on a Captivate in Australia and if so, what settings you are using to do so.
I can't for the life of me get 3G working at all. I'm with iinet who is an Optus network reseller so the network settings should be the same.
I've tried:
- Dialling *#2263# and *#*#4636#*#* to select the Australian bands (900 and 2100, sometimes 1800)
- Turning on data roaming
- Manually checking/adjusting APNs
- Pushing non-"850 by default" modems (JPP and JPY)
- Pushing the Optus (OPS) CSC
But nothing has gotten 3G to work on the stock eclair ROM (or Perception 10.1 in the case of froyo modems). Anyone able to shed some light on this problem?
Thanks in advance.
If not, then does anyone know of anything else I can try before I sell this phone? I'd really like to keep this phone if I could...
telstra......
hi , although i'm still waiting for my first captivate to arrive in the mail, i have a possible answer to that because i found the captivate in the reverse order, looking for a phone that would get 3g in oz and the us.... the captivate has access to umts 850/1900/2100mhz. (hardware?) so at&t uses umts 850/1900 telstra 850/2100.
so if you want full functionality telstra it is(unconfirmed)....... where in oz?
p.s. 3 uses telstra towers but you'd be roaming for data ...
i haven't tried as yet so let me know of your progress... also the armani modem would be the closest but again, it could be the hardware..

[Q] Please help me, no 3g, then no data at all

I bought nexus one from my friend.
I am currently using HD2 with 3g data.
When I plugged in my sim card to the n1, it only worked with edge.
So, I seared internet for some information and I found out something about "*#*#6436#*#*" and change the setting to WCDMA only. Then the phone got no signal at all, so I changed back to WCDMA preferred. Then I did ping test but it did not seem to work very well.
Then I played with some APN setting and I realized that I lost data connection completely (phone still working)
I have tried to reset the phone but no luck.
Can anyone please help me with the problem? I am using T-mobile.
Thank you.
Pull your battery, and look at the back of your phone. At the top of the dark area there are numbers, look at the PB or FCC ID numbers. If they end in 9110 then you have an AT&T version of the phone, and the hardware will not work with T-Mobile's 3G service...

are you in the USA? you need to list your location. it is likely that you purchased the wrong version of the nexus one. there is an ATT version and a tmobile version. each only works with the proper 3G. so an ATT n1 on tmobile only gets edge, and vice versa. check which version you own.

[Q] Will a unlocked Note 3 900a work on UK 3G networks

Hi there, I live in the UK and after checking the specifications of the phone I sore that it does have the 2100mhz band used in the UK for 3G singals. Moreover, 02 insisted the phone would work fine on there 3G network, however, after receiving the phone I only seem able to connect to the edge network.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
